Hyped/popular games you never really enjoyed?

There are a lot of games which are considered as very good. Or popular games which are hyped by fans (for example Skyrim/CoD).

Which games don't you enjoy despite the meaning of the majority?

For me:

League of Legends
Skyrim (played it a few hours. I just can't get into it)
Any Call of Duty
Bioshock (interesting story, but the gameplay isn't very good in my opinion. At least it is better than all the stupid modern military shooters)
The Assassin's Creed franchise
Diablo III

When we're just talking about simple enjoyment... Crysis is something I never enjoyed.

I am disappointed by Diablo 3 but I enjoyed at least the 2 playthroughs I did. There are a lot other games but very high on my list is Guild Wars 2 - so unbelievably dull and boring but press and many player love it. I will never understand why...

...and Witcher 2 is awesome. Just saying...

Miwiw, wtf :x so many awesome games in your list.

I personally don't like super meat boy, despite trying over and over (I'm in world 3). That godawful inertia, and also the game trying to shove a gamepad up your butt. I tried Starcraft 2 and didn't like it, for the same reason I don't like most so-called "strategy" games that aren't turn-based and don't have active pauses.

Guild Wars 2 I liked but stopped playing. Somehow it was too smooth and polished to really entertain. I can understand not liking Skyrim but have you tried mods before abandoning it ?

They are nice games, I "liked" most of them and will never regret buying them but I still didnt "really" enjoy them. That's the topic. :D
Often there were "meh"-moments.

Far Cry 3.  I came to the realization a few weeks back that this game was not good and that the only reason I had played it as much as I had was because of the third-party mods.  The vanilla gameplay was bland and reeked of cut content and poor design.  I mean they were even too lazy to remove the dude with the beanie and glasses from the cutscenes after having phased him out of the game.  (For those who are scratching their heads-- You were supposed to accidentally shoot and kill him during the Vaas fight but they never finished it.  Instead going with some lame, trippy, half-assed, not-even-a-real-boss-fight bullshit.)  And how does a professional product get through five patches with most of the major bugs and glitches still intact?  It isn't cRPG, no offense, it had a multi-million dollar budget and was sold as an A-list, sixty-USD title.  There is just no excuse for the gameplay bugs that it has.  None.  Bad game is bad.

All MOBA except Smite. Playing RTS with one unit and 4 screaming teen neckbeards in the team isn't my cup of tea.

PS. I could of course just list all popamole cRPGs made in the last 5-8 years, because except Witcher it's all pathetic decline of the genre, but why bother, Skyrim is the bestest roleplaying game evar, rite?
Mods compatible with cRPG. New crosshairs, textures, sounds, yay.

For me it was Fable. There was so much hype around that first game, around the impact you'd have on the world, and it just didn't live up to it.
